[Closed] Set default lighting to 2 ?

Sep 25, 2011 3:27 pm

Is there any easy way (w/o UIAccessor) to set default lighting to 2?
Thanks

Edit:
I use saved empty scene with that option as template and this is ok for the current project,
but still looking for better approach. (edit CurrentDefaults.ini is not an option)

I think these are the only settings exposed to maxscript in “lighting & shadows” tab.

actionMan.executeAction -844228238 “0”

0 “Enable Ambient Occlusion”
1 “Enable Hardware Shading”
3 “Shading Quality Best”
2 “Shading Quality Good”
4 “Configure Lighting and Shadows”
5 “Enable Shadows”
6 “Illuminate with Scene Lights”
7 “Illuminate with Default Lights” => closest you can get
8 “Enable Exposure Control in Viewport”
9 “Hard Shadow”
10 “Soft Shadow”
